Heres my volitan lion

My tank specs are below. All parameters are fine, 0 ammonia, 0 nitrite, 15 nitrate. Don't have much LR, only about 60-65 pounds, but I dont have a heavy fish load also. Only gonna add one more big fish. IMO, the best maintenance is on your part with weekly water changes to keep the tank in...

The only time I could see it being worth it is if it is very very cold at the time One of the reasons to get a backup battery. You don't want temperature swings to stress the fish out. For me I just picked up 2 600VA battery backups (which are not that expensive, $25 each) just to power a...

WOW:eek:..the smallest p.volitan ive seen. Nice though.

Maybe he he was a vampire!!! LOL!!

Beautiful fish indeed, though I don't have a sufficient or appropriate environment for one. But I would rate it behind angels though, especially emperors and of course my queen! :D

Great post guys. Getting my RO/DI next week and learned a couple things here.

Awesome Rye!! Shots are clean. How'd you shoot without all the glare? Nice tank!

The post i was looking for! Was looking for a RO/DI unit after getting tired of constantly getting water from the water store. ---- does have some that are reasonably priced...

Um...its probably not getting enough food to eat. If you can, try and put a piece of seafood like krill under it, especially when they open up (like stand on its arms). Ive had one in my tank for awhile now, though i rarely feed it cause it seems to like munching off the algae in the sand bed.

I dont get how the expansion of the sand could cause the tank to explode. IMO, the water concealed inside the tank would put a greater pressure to cause such an explosion. Maybe there was a crack somewhere and it continued to grow? Never heard this though until now.

If its munching on your LR, then try and feed it some krill or other small pieces of seafood every now and then. Thats what I do with my hermits. I know I hate it when my cleaners eat up all the coralline algae off of the LR and create a mess in the sand bed.

Dwarf lions are known to be less active in the day. Had one way back when I had a 30G and it was a stone in the day then transforms into a active hunter at night. But, yeah try and get it of FW fish. It takes patience, but will be good for the fish in the long run

The bubbles are a sign that your sand bed is working. Its converting your nitrates to I think nitrogen, which will float to the top of your tank and pop! But anyway, thats the benefit of a DSB

:eek: mine is in my living room where the home theater is hooked up. Watch alot of dvds all the time. No problems with the fishes (knock on wood.:D )

Isn't Sea World close by? I think they have a big enough tank. j/k:D

The only wildest thing I seen is when I fed my lion five 2.5"-3" long silversides in a row. I was surprised it was still wanting more after the fifth one.

Whats your tank specs? Fishes? More info would help, if its not eating then somethings really bothering it.

At the LFS i go to, they have a very small tank probably like the one you mentioned. This one is beautiful. It is a mini reef with LR, small corals and I think just a couple small fish like a purple head firefish and a clown. It has a prizm skimmer and mh for lights. But I figured this would...

garlic bread? :eek:
